Patrick Monahan: quizzing the kids
We are big fans of both Patrick Monahan and Story Pocket Theatre. In fact, we've given both of them a Three Weeks Editors' Award. So of course we pricked up our ears when we heard that a plan was afoot this Fringe for the two former award winners to join up and create the brilliant-sounding family show Pub Quiz For Kids. We're very much looking forward to getting along to the show but, in the meantime, we thought we'd find out a bit more about it all by orchestrating a quick conversation with its star.
